check the picture below.


\bf tan(22^o)=\cfrac{x}{80}\implies \boxed{80tan(22^o)=x}
\\\\[-0.35em]
~\dotfill\\\\
tan(43.5^o)=\cfrac{y+x}{80}\implies 80tan(43.5^o)=y+x\implies 80tan(43.5^o)-x=y
\\\\\\
80tan(43.5^o)-80tan(22^o)=y\implies 43.59506727037783689501 \approx y
\\\\[-0.35em]

~\hfill \stackrel{rounded~up}{44=y}~\hfill


make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.

Let distance from point of elevation be x

x/80 = tan 22 , x = 80 * tan 22 = 32.32209807 feet

Let distance from bottom of the library to the top of the flag be y

y/80 = tan 43.5 , y = 80 * tan 43.5 = 75.91716534 feet

Height of the flag pole  is y - x = 75.91716534 feet - 32.32209807 feet = 44 feet (to the nearest foot).

Can someone help please
finlep [7]

Answer:

x=7 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+6y=11

2x-3y=5

-2x+12y=22

2x-3y=5

Add both equations

-2x+2x-3y+12=22+5

9y=27

y=3

plug y back in

-x+18=11

-x=-7

x=7
